Thanks to the suggestion of @leefreshprince.bsky.social, I've completed Stop The Express on the ZXS this evening.
Proof attached. Had never played it before - horifically unforgiving game in a classic style, but quite enjoyed it and might consider doing a speedrun in future.

It's hard to describe how much fun @thecubanboys.bsky.social are for a live set. Wall-to-wall chaos: @poundshopboys.bsky.social and @spraypopmusic.com also happen for some reason, and also Wonky Puss sing about The Smiths infesting their kitchen. An evening of extremely banging musical delirium.

I hope this counts? It is what I would consider the first device I ever interacted with.
Followed up by a ZX Spectrum +2 a few years later, and then a +2A when that stopped working. (Both of which I preferred to the earlier models.)

Off to the UK Student Radio Awards this evening - a big thankyou to the Student Radio Association (who aren't here yet) for inviting me.
There may well be pictures/observations or incomprehensible ramblings, because there is booze.
